James Roger Tant, known as Roger, was 53 when he was last seen at his South Pittsburg Mountain residence in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, on March 10, 2012. His disappearance was not reported until his sister filed a missing person report on June 28, 2012, after weeks without contact. His wife reported he left without taking personal belongings or his vehicle. There was no activity on his bank accounts or credit cards after he was last seen.

Neighbors described Tant as private. He raised game fowl and enjoyed off-roading; the failure to arrange care for the birds was considered out of character. Investigators with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office looked into several leads, including possible involvement in cock-fighting, but found no breakthrough. His case remains open and listed in national missing-persons databases.

If anyone knew Roger, his routines, places he went, or saw him after March 10, 2012, please share what you remember.
